I have had my dinc since the 8th. I lobe this phone but it does need a few mods.
1st of course is a better signal strength. I mean come on we love these phones so giv us a better signal strength to enjoy it to its full potential. and no one likes dropped calls!
next is WiFi hotspot. nt a must but danger sure a big bonus!
finally is let us hav more control over the notifications!!! I mean come on nw its nt like its goin to hurt nethng. I had a BB tour and the customization for notifications was amazing.
battery life, come on pepl quit whining people. get a spare charger, a spare battery, charge it whn u get a chance to and stop complaining bout stuff u cn solve self
 
Well I agree, the signal bar thing needs to fixed, it goes up and down but it doesnt really bug me, i've had vz for years and never had a problem (which is amazing if you ask me) and will be fixed in the upcoming ota along with call quality issue some people are having and battery fixes plus froyo. WiFi hotspot will also be coming but why not root an use wireless tether and not pay 20$ extra? As for messaging settings, there's plenty of apps in the market. :)

Signal strength on the Dinc is better than my previous phone and better than my brother's Droid. I get 1-3bars at work. He sits 3 feet from me and gets 0-1 bars. He misses most of his calls, I have never missed one.

There is plenty of control over notifications. You just have to go into settings and change them.

As for battery life, the one thing you seem not to be concerned with, it is a big deal. Some ROMs and Kernels have fixed the issue, so VZW/HTC need to come out with an official release which solves the problem. 4-6 hours of life on a stock battery is laughable... That being said, yeah, you can just drop $5-$15 and get a spare or 4 spares like me.
